ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Serious and sometimes fatal infections or bleeding (Mifeprex)

Serious and sometimes fatal infections and bleeding occur very rarely following spontaneous, surgical, and medical abortions, including following mifepristone use. No causal relationship between the use of mifepristone and misoprostol and these reactions has been established. Before prescribing mifepristone, inform the patient about the risk of these serious events. Ensure that the patient knows whom to call and what to do, including going to an emergency room, if none of the provided contacts are reachable, if they experience sustained fever, severe abdominal pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, or syncope, or if they experience abdominal pain or discomfort or general malaise (including weakness, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea) more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol.

Patients with serious bacterial infections (eg, Clostridium sordelli) and sepsis can present without fever, bacteremia, or significant findings on pelvic examination following an abortion. Very rarely, deaths have been reported in patients who presented without fever, with or without abdominal pain, but with leukocytosis with a marked left shift, tachycardia, hemoconcentration, and general malaise. A high index of suspicion is needed to rule out serious infection and sepsis.

Prolonged heavy bleeding may be a sign of incomplete abortion or other complications, and prompt medical or surgical intervention may be needed. Advise patients to seek immediate medical attention if they experience prolonged heavy vaginal bleeding.

Distribution program (Mifeprex)

Because of the risks of serious complications (eg, bacterial infections, bleeding), mifepristone is available only through a restricted program under a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) called the mifepristone REMS program.

Pregnancy termination (Korlym)

Mifepristone is a potent antagonist of progesterone and cortisol via the progesterone and glucocorticoid (GR-II) receptors, respectively. The antiprogestational effects will result in the termination of pregnancy. Pregnancy must be excluded before the initiation of treatment with mifepristone and prevented during treatment and for 1 month after stopping treatment by the use of a nonhormonal, medically acceptable method of contraception unless the patient has had a surgical sterilization, in which case, no additional contraception is needed. Pregnancy must also be excluded if treatment is interrupted for more than 14 days in females of reproductive potential.

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Adrenal insufficiency: When used for the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing syndrome, adrenal insufficiency may occur. Serum cortisol concentrations remain elevated and may increase and cannot be used for monitoring. If signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency occur (eg, fatigue, hypoglycemia, hypotension, nausea, weakness), discontinue mifepristone and administer glucocorticoids (high doses may be needed). Following resolution, treatment may be resumed at a lower dose; evaluate patient for precipitating causes (eg, infection, trauma).

• Bacterial infections: When used for the termination of pregnancy, bacterial infections (eg, Clostridium sordellii) have been reported and may have an atypical presentation. In rare cases, these infections may be serious and/or fatal, with septic shock as a potential complication. A causal relationship has not been established. Promptly evaluate any patient with a fever of ≥38°C (100.4°F) for >4 hours, abdominal pain, or pelvic tenderness; however, atypical presentations of serious infection without these symptoms have also occurred. Evaluate patients presenting with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or weakness, with or without abdominal pain or fever for serious bacterial infection when symptoms occur >24 hours after taking misoprostol. Patients with Cushing syndrome may be at risk for opportunistic infections such as Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia.

• Bleeding: Regardless of indication, endometrial proliferation is promoted by mifepristone, resulting in endometrial thickening, cystic dilation of endometrial glands, and vaginal bleeding. When used for the termination of pregnancy, counsel patients to seek medical attention for excessive bleeding. Bleeding occurs and should be expected (average 9 to 16 days, may be ≥30 days). In some cases, bleeding may be prolonged and heavy and may be a sign of incomplete abortion or other complications, potentially leading to hypovolemic shock; the manufacturer cites soaking through 2 thick sanitary pads per hour for 2 consecutive hours as an example of excessive bleeding. Bleeding may require blood transfusion (rare), curettage, saline infusions, and/or vasoconstrictors. Instruct patients to seek medical attention if prolonged heavy vaginal bleeding occurs. When used for termination of pregnancy, use caution in patients with severe anemia, hypocoagulability or hemostatic disorders. When used for the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing syndrome, use caution with hemorrhagic disorders or concomitant anticoagulants when treating patients who may become pregnant.

• Hypokalemia: May occur at any time during therapy when used to control hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing syndrome. Correct hypokalemia prior to initiation of treatment; monitor potassium levels closely with therapy.

• QT prolongation: May prolong the QTc interval (dose related); use caution with other QT-prolonging agents.

Disease-related concerns:

• Cardiovascular disease: Because mifepristone does not reduce serum cortisol concentrations, mineralocorticoid receptors in cardiac tissue may be activated; use caution in patients with Cushing syndrome who also have heart failure or coronary vascular disease.

Concurrent drug therapy issues:

• Corticosteroids: Use of mifepristone for the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing syndrome may antagonize the effects of steroids used for other conditions.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Confirmation of pregnancy termination: Confirm pregnancy termination following treatment. The manufacturer recommends surgical evacuation to manage an ongoing pregnancy in the event of a failed medication abortion. Prescribers should determine in advance whether they will provide such care themselves or through other providers. Take preventive measures to prevent Rh immunization prior to surgical abortion.

• Ectopic pregnancy: Mifepristone is not effective in terminating ectopic pregnancies. As health care providers, be alert for signs/symptoms which may be related to undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy in any patient undergoing a medication abortion; ectopic pregnancy may have been missed even if the patient underwent ultrasonography prior to mifepristone administration.

• Experienced physician: When used for the termination of pregnancy, to be administered only under supervision by qualified health care providers who can date pregnancy, diagnose ectopic pregnancies, provide access to surgical abortion (if needed), and can provide access to emergency care. Medication is available only through the mifepristone REMS Program; may only be dispensed to patients by or under supervision of a certified prescriber, or by certified pharmacies on prescriptions issued by certified prescribers.

• Patient education: When used for the termination of pregnancy, instruct patients of the treatment procedure and expected effects. Keep a signed agreement form in the patient's file. Give the patient clear instructions on whom to call and what to do in the event of an emergency following administration of therapy. Consider appropriate location of initiating therapy; expulsion of pregnancy is expected within 2 to 24 hours after taking misoprostol. Instruct patients undergoing treatment with mifepristone to bring their medication guide with them when obtaining treatment from a health care provider that did not prescribe the medication initially to identify that they are undergoing a medication abortion.

Reproductive Considerations

When used to control hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing syndrome (Korlym), pregnancy must be excluded before the initiation of treatment with mifepristone. Patients who may become pregnant should use effective contraception during therapy and for 1 month after the last mifepristone dose. Mifepristone interferes with the effectiveness of hormonal contraceptives, therefore a nonhormonal, medically acceptable method of contraception is required unless the patient has had a surgical sterilization, in which case, no additional contraception is needed. Pregnancy must also be excluded if treatment is interrupted for more than 14 days in patients who could become pregnant.

Mifeprex is used for pregnancy termination (medication abortion). In sexually active patients, pregnancy can occur prior to the first menstrual period following treatment. Appropriate contraception can be started as soon as termination of pregnancy is confirmed or before sexual intercourse is resumed. Pregnancy termination via medication abortion does not adversely affect future fertility (ACOG 2020).

Pregnancy Considerations

Korlym is contraindicated in pregnant patients to control hyperglycemia with Cushing syndrome. Mifepristone is a potent antagonist of progesterone and cortisol; the antiprogestational effects will result in the termination of pregnancy.

Mifeprex is used to terminate intrauterine pregnancy through 70 days gestation. If treatment fails, there is a risk of fetal malformation. Pregnancy termination via medication abortion does not adversely affect future pregnancy outcomes (ACOG 2020). If present, remove intrauterine device (IUD) before treatment begins. Consider the possibility of ectopic pregnancy in patients who become pregnant with an IUD in place. For consultation, health care providers may call Danco Laboratories (877-432-7596) 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to speak with an expert.

Mifepristone in combination with misoprostol is also used off-label for the treatment of early pregnancy loss (miscarriage, <13 weeks' gestation), defined as a nonviable, intrauterine pregnancy with either an empty gestational sac or a gestational sac containing an embryo or fetus without fetal heart activity. Use may be considered in patients who do not want to undergo surgical evacuation and who do not show signs of an infection, hemorrhage, severe anemia, or bleeding disorders (ACOG 2018).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Mifepristone is present in breast milk.

Mifepristone milk concentrations were evaluated in lactating women receiving a single dose for the termination of pregnancy. In women receiving mifepristone 200 mg (n = 2), milk concentrations were below the limit of detection (<0.013 micromole/L) in samples collected over the following 5 days. The highest milk concentration following a single 600 mg dose (n = 10) was 0.913 micromole/L on day 1 and concentrations decreased to 0.062 micromole/L by day 5. Using the highest reported milk concentration, the authors calculated the relative infant dose to be ≤1.5% of the weight adjusted maternal dose in a fully breast-fed infant (Sääv 2010).

Regardless of indication, the manufacturer recommends that the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother.

Korlym: To minimize exposure to a breastfed infant, the manufacturer recommends pumping and discarding milk during treatment and for 18 to 21 days (5 to 6 half-lives) after the last dose.

Mifeprex: When used for the termination of pregnancy, also refer to the Misoprostol monograph for additional information.

Monitoring Parameters

Treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing syndrome: Signs and symptoms of adrenal insufficiency (serum cortisol concentrations will not be accurate); thyroid function; serum potassium (1 to 2 weeks after initiating dose or dose increase, then periodically thereafter); serum glucose and psychiatric symptoms (may show response to therapy within 6 weeks); cushingoid appearance (acne, hirsutism, striae, weight may take >2 months of therapy to show improvement); verify pregnancy status prior to use; evaluate unexplained vaginal bleeding that occurs during therapy.

Pregnancy termination:

Prior to treatment, confirm pregnancy, estimate gestational age, and determine Rh status; assess hemoglobin and hematocrit if anemia is suspected (ACOG 2020). Pregnancy is dated from day 1 of last menstrual period (presuming a 28-day cycle, ovulation occurring midcycle). Pregnancy duration can be determined using menstrual history and clinical examination. Use ultrasound if duration of pregnancy is uncertain or if ectopic pregnancy is suspected.

Following procedure: Clinical exam, human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) testing, evaluation of symptoms, and/or ultrasound to confirm complete termination of pregnancy (ACOG 2020). Additional evaluations may be needed in patients reporting fever with or without abdominal pain, sustained fever, severe abdominal pain, prolonged heavy bleeding, syncope, or general malaise (including weakness, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea) for more than 24 hours after taking misoprostol. In cases of an uncomplicated medication abortion, a telephone evaluation 1 week after treatment and an in-home pregnancy test 4 weeks after treatment can be done to avoid in-person visits when allowed by local laws. Perform in-person clinical exams when medically indicated or preferred by the patient (ACOG 2020).

Early pregnancy loss: Evaluate Rh status; ultrasound or serial serum hCG (if ultrasound not available) 1 to 2 weeks after dosing; patient reported symptoms (ACOG 2018).

Mechanism of Action

Mifepristone is a synthetic steroid. At low doses, it competitively binds to the intracellular progesterone receptor, blocking the effects of progesterone. When used for pregnancy termination, this leads to contraction-inducing activity in the myometrium. In the absence of progesterone, mifepristone acts as a partial progesterone agonist. At high doses used for the treatment of hyperglycemia in patients with Cushing’s syndrome, mifepristone blocks the effect of cortisol at the glucocorticoid receptor (antagonizes the effects of cortisol on glucose metabolism) while at the same time increasing circulating cortisol concentrations.
